A24's 'Materialists' starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal set for June release

A24 took to social media today to reveal the official release date for Celine Song's Materialists. The new movie will hit theaters on Friday, June 13 and stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. 

A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.

Song wrote, directed, and produced the project. She is best known for Past Lives, her directorial debut which starred Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro. It was nominated for five different categories at the Golden Globes as well as Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars. 

Johnson most recently joined the cast of Verity, which is the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel. Evans will next be seen in Honey Don't!, which has a May 2025 release, and Sacrifice. 

As for Pascal, he has a big year ahead of him with Freaky Tales on April 4, season 2 of HBO's The Last of Us on April 13, The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25, and Eddington all coming out in 2025. 

In an interview with Collider, Johnson said she had “the most amazing time” working with Song and that she is “deeply in love with her, and with her as a director, as a filmmaker, as a human." 

Meanwhile, in a conversation with GQ, Pascal shared, "Past Lives is one of the best movies I've seen in years, number one. There's that simple answer. I met Celine and we became fast friends before the idea of ever working together. It really came down to it being, anything that she may or may not want me to do, I'd be willing to do it as an artist and as a friend. Working with that caliber of talent is the goal ultimately, and so I'm the lucky one for sure."

While we don't have much about the Materialists yet besides the summary, the save the date image that was posted has an Adore Matchmaking business card, an already smoked cigarette, and a partially cut into heart cake shown. Ready for a piece? We sure are.
